It should be a simple enough question to answer but in fact it is an intimidating and complex one. We often address it by deciding to do either exactly what our parents did or just the opposite. After that we rely on a cocktail of love and instinct, hoping it will be enough to overcome the difficulties ahead. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFar from having perfect free will, however, we are all under the influence. The child still within us confuses, influences, or undermines all our aspirations as parents and prevents us from sticking to the philosophy we initially hoped to follow. These unresolved emotions drive us to reproduce the upbringing we received, including the behaviors that have hurt us the most. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn\u003ci\u003e Parents Under the Influence\u003c\/i\u003e, C馗ile David-Weill draws on her own parenting blunders and successes as well as concrete examples, case studies, and works of fiction to guide readers, helping them heal from the past and become effective, nurturing parents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e C馗ile David-Weill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1590510569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590510568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Other Press (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2019 pg. 9","brand":"C馗ile David-Weill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938461188351,"sku":"9781590510568","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3934dac5-4e78-4684-ab06-4d9f0273d698.jpg?v=1681435821","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parents-under-the-influence-ccile-david-weill-9781590510568","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
